    Lightbulb A rolling road in Fareham near Portsmouth

    Apparently they have had a dynamo for over a year but I was unaware as they prefer to do car work and have only had one club dyno day there. Never the less, it is only 2-3 miles from me, so I'll be trying them out on Friday at about 2pm if anyone is interested.

    unbelievable, all this ringing aroung and speaking to muppets and be now advised that you have found one close by. I guess they don't like advertising much... i may pop in there and see if i can use it to locate a boost leak.. I can't access there website due a a local proxy fault..

    Nice find Karl.. I may pop down after work and see how you get on, but it depends on when i can escape the clutches of the office in time.. I also have another MOT tomorrow (having told the previous place where to stick it a couple of weeks ago) so not sure when i will get the car back and whether i need to go and have another rant at some guy who thinks he dream up future work for himself.

    lol that place makes me laugh, i know of them and have contacted them in the past. Because they are a VAG specialist they said they did not RR any other car, despite my protestations and explanations about what odb2 is i got nowhere. You can't give people money thesedays, and you wonder why so many places go out of business..

    I am very interested in the place Karl is checking out tomorrow as they seem to be a bit of a specialist and more or interest to me.

    I went and looked at the place in Fareham to make sure I knew where it is yesterday. They specialize in building kit cars from scratch, so they have extensive capabilities. Apparently they have only had the rollers since the beginning of this year, not FOR a year, I obviously misunderstood on the phone.
